When is the last time you had an orange soda?  Not orange-flavored sparkling water… real, old-school orange soda pop.

It may have been a while.  Nothing says, “I make healthy choices” quite like a neon-orange beverage.  But then again, there ARE orange soda die-hards.

TheTakeout.com just put out “The Definitive Orange Soda Brand Ranking“.

Here are the Top 15:

1.  Fanta Orange… specifically the U.S. version.

2.  Faygo Orange Soda

3.  Crush Orange

4.  Maine Root Orange Soda

5.  Capt’n Eli’s Orange Soda

6.  Shasta Orange Soda

7.  Route 66 Orange Soda

8.  7-Select Orange Soda

9.  Kool-Aid Orange Soda

10.  Giant Grocery Store Brand Orange Soda

11.  Avery’s Gamer Goop

12.  Jones Nuka Orange

13.  Jarritos Mandarin Soda

14.  Fanta Orange… specifically the Serbian / European version.

15.  Sunkist. 

There are actually 29 orange sodas on the list.

They say they considered:  Flavor, aroma, color, body, carbonation, orange-ness, artificiality, balance, mouthfeel, finish, aftertaste, refresh-ability, packaging design, originality, uniqueness, vibes, and the two most important attributes:  “Is the drink memorable?”  And “Would we want to buy it again?”
